The court declared that he is suspended from practicing law in New York, and there is “uncontroverted evidence” that he “communicated demonstrably false and misleading statements to courts, lawmakers and the public at large” in his efforts to overturn Donald Trump‘s loss in the 2020 presidential election.

“The seriousness of respondent’s uncontroverted misconduct cannot be overstated. This country is being torn apart by continued attacks on the legitimacy of the 2020 election and of our current president, Joseph R. Biden. The hallmark of our democracy is predicated on free and fair elections. False statements intended to foment a loss of confidence in our elections and resulting loss of confidence in government generally damage the proper functioning of a free society,” they continued, adding that it “erodes the public’s confidence in the integrity of attorneys admitted to our bar and damages the profession’s role as a crucial source of reliable information.”

He argued that an investigation into his conduct violated his First Amendment right of free speech, which was rejected. He also argued he did not make statements knowing they were false.

“We find that there is evidence of continuing misconduct, the underlying offense is incredibly serious, and the uncontroverted misconduct in itself will likely result in substantial permanent sanctions at the conclusion of these disciplinary proceedings,” the court said.

His apartment was also recently searched amid investigation, and his daughter just made headlines for a sexual reason.
